Hello! How are you all doing? Since the start of the Lenten Season this week, I have been offline and would only sneak on my social media accounts and check on my emails through my phone. Lenten Season in our town is a busy holy week for all.

People from other towns and even provinces would normally visit our place just to watch Senakulo and Penitensya.

The Senakulo (from the Spanish cenaculo) is a Lenten play that depicts events from the Old and New Testaments related to the life, sufferings, and death of Christ. The senakulo is traditionally performed on a proscenium-type stage with painted cloth or paper backdrops that are called telon. It takes at least eight nights – from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday – to present the play. Christ is presented traditionally as meek and masochistic, submitting lamblike to his fate in obedience to authority.
